is considering sending additional troops to cairo. is it realistic at all that tensions are going to sort of calm down with these two forces set to possibly collide on friday? >> well, i don't know why mr. morsi had to call for demonstrations on the part of the muslim brotherhood on friday after prayers. that's, frankly, unacceptable. look. there's very little leverage over a man determined to use the united states as a boogieman for the interests inside egypt. he's dependent on american foreign assistance and the willingness of the united states taxpayer proto provide debt relief. there's no reason why the obama administration or the united states has to play his game. if he's going to play games with the safety of the diplomats in cairo he doesn't deserve to have us running over there and offering him money under these circumstances. we have to basically send a strong signal to a new president that while he may be the new man in town, the new game doesn't have to be played under his rules. >> ambassador ginsberg, if we could look at

later that morning, romney issued his own timeline of events, stating the embassy in cairo put out a statement after their grounds had been breached. romney indicated that the u.s. apologized for the film after the attack, which is not the case. in fact, the embassy statement was actually issued before the breach there. since tuesday's attack in libya, republicans have kept up the pressure on president obama. joining me, amy holmes, anchor for gbt's "real news." a lot to talk about. maria, forgetting the time line here, were the remarks by governor romney even appropriate? >> no, absolutely not. i think that that was one of his biggest blunders. you've been seeing a lot of republican strategists and hand wringing and kind of saying like what was he thinking doing something like that on september 11th. 11 years ago when september 11th actually happened, i was the communications director at the democratic national committee. the statement that we put out that day was something to the effect of the following. there are no partisans today. only patriots. the rnc joined in that sentiment.
